Tilted womb: Seven signs to look out for - including pain during sex

ok.co.uk:

Some women have a tilted uterus, and it is actually more common than you think. Also known as a “retroverted” uterus, the tilted version affects around 20 to 25 percent of women, statistics claim.

Most people with the condition have no symptoms, but in some cases it can make sex uncomfortable and cause problems with pregnancy.The uterus, which holds an unborn baby, is usually positioned upright or slightly forward.

However, a retroverted uterus tilts backwards toward the spine. Anne Henderson, Consultant Gynaecologist and British Menopause Society Accredited Specialist, told the Sun: “It’s not unusual. “For the vast majority of women, if they are told during a smear test or when they have an examination they are retroverted, that's just part and parcel of their anatomy and doesn't imply anything is wrong. “Where you have a tilted or retroverted uterus which is associated with pain, particularly pain with examination, during a smear, intercourse or period, that's slightly more related to pathology.” Want your daily star sign reading straight to your inbox?
